THE TRIBUNE.
WHAT BOB BURDEfTE SAYS

Why am / a woman suffragist
Because am. Because a woman
has more good, hard common sense
than man. Because she makes
less bluster about her rights, and
quietly maintains them better than
a man because she won't give $50
for an article that she knows very
well she can get for rs cents. Be-
cause she does not stalk loftily
away from the counter without her
change if the robber behind it is a
little reluctant about counting it
out. Because she is too independ-
-ent to pay the landlord ~ for her
dinner and then pay the head wait
-er 81 to send her a waiter who will
bring it to her for so cents. Because
she will hold her money tightly in
her own good little right hand for
two hours until she first gets re-
ceipt for it from the fellow who
made her husband pay the same
bill five times last year. Not any
'just give you credit for it" for her.
Because one day Pullman porter
complained to me, "No money on
this trip; too many women aboard.
Don't get nothin' out of women
'ceptin' just regular fare" I had
just paid him 25 cents for backing
one of my boots and losing the
other. And when he said that I
saw for myself the heroic firmness
of those women, travelling alone,
paying their fare and refusing to
pay the salaries of the employees of
a wealthy corporation. l said:
'These women have right to vote.
To vote? By all that is brave and
.selfreliant and sensible, they have
a right to run the government.

Postmaster General Villas.

"Carp," the Washington correspond
ent, relates the following good story
of Postmaster General Villas:
Representative Carleton OF Michigan
had had some trouble in regard to a
postal clerk in his district, and the
man had been removed, I think at
his suggestion. Villas, to Carleton's
surprise appointed a. man from an
other district, and Carleton in com.
pany with Representatives Maybury
and Timothy Tarsenay, had come to
protest against the appointment.
Villas, however. seemed obdurate, and
he would not change the appointment
to suit Carleton. Atlast Timothy Tar
senay, who has made such a reputa~
ton as wit, leaned over from his
chair, and looking Villas straight in
the eye, said: civilian Villas, know
only one story that fits this case, and
that is one which relates to political
convention in Illinois in which Bill
Morrison was a leading figure. Nor
rison had adopted a policy which was
contrary to the opinions OF his friends.
He was obstinate in it and no one
could move HIM. At last an old
Irishman, who had long been q friend
OF Morrison and had always voted
with him, came up to him. He threw
his arm around Morrison's shoulder
and said: See here, Bill, you know
am wild ye, and you know I am wild
ye whether ye're right or wrong land
here Timothy leaned still closer tt
ViIasl but. Bill, try and be right this
time. Villas cav the point and
leaned back y, his chair roaring with
laughter. The story put him in snch
good hnmor that he changed the
appointment and gave tito one OF
Carleton's friends. ~

Deaf Mute Episcopal Service. IS
The Chicago News relates how deaf
mutes Of Chicago saw the Episcopal
service and were spectators Of q SER
mon: Il Fl. I. :3.s. (. ~.
The Episcopal service is always I'M
pressiye, and when it has the mantle
Of perfect silence thrown about it, it is
particularly so. There are about fifty
deaf mutes in Chicago, who worship
oncea month in st. James's church,
Cass and Huron streets. The Rev. A.
w. Mann, himself a deaf mute, who
has been nearly twelve years in tile
pulpit, is the rector, his field embrac-
ing the entire country bounded by the
.sAlleghanies on the east, the Ohio riv-
or on the south and Kansas on the
west. OF the $4,000 deaf mutes in
the United States, 5000 are COM
municants in the various dioceses
which the Rev. DR.. Mann ministers to.
Choose ye this day whom ye will
serve" was DR.. Mann's text. There
was prayer-silent prayer-offered by
the fingers, while the pia. in the
room below pealed, forth q Sunday
school melody, joined by a hundred
voices, but the noise did not disturb
the silent worshipers. Then the litany
was repeated, the congregation re-
spending in pantomime concert-no
choir, no organ, no music to stir the
soul to religious thoughts. And then
when the rector had fairly launched
out in his sermon, and from appear
ances was growing eloquent, the wife
of DR.. Vibbart came into the room
with her large bible class of young la
dies, and the noise that usually at.
tends such exercises was begun, but
the discourse went on increasingly, the
fingers of the Rev. Dr. Mann Jerking
and jumping and clutching and gestic-
ulating with almost lighting rapidity.
His auditors watched their movements
with the most intense interest, their
faces sometimes clouded as if listening
to the description of some horrible
thing, and then again an expression Of
Joy would seem to follow some dex-
trous movement of the silent preach
er. When he had delivered himself OF
some eloquent peroration the rector
would stop mo1hent, presumably
giving his observers time to compre-
hend, and then he would beat the
palm of his left hand with the clench-
ed fist OF the right several times, and
this he would follow with several re-
fective mods OF the head, as if signify
ing Eyes, yes; that is it, Or "that is
true.'

Commissioner Morrison and the
Workings of Interstate Law.

Washington Corr. New York Sun.
Interstate-C Commerce Commissioner
Morrison went into q railroad ticket
office here the other day to buy
ticket for his wife to St. Louis, and
handing out ST. so remarked: "sup.
pose it's the same old price, NO"
replied the ticket agent, "it's $3.50,
So more than it used to be-"
''How's that?" inquired Morrison.
'Ain't you hauling folks as cheap as
you used to do?" NO. said the tick
ct agent; "all rates of transportation
have gone up since the passage Of the
interstate-commerce BILL
"Since the passage of the Interstate
commerce bill," repeated Morrison,
seeing that the ticket agent who was a
new man, did not know him. "Is
there anything in that bill that re-
quires you to raise your rates? 1
thought the object of the bill was to
secure cheaper transportation and
see that everybody was treated alike"
NO" said the agent; "under the new
law all the roads have got to raise
their rates to the highest figures. For.
merly we had limited tickets, which
came less than those that were good
until used, but under the Interstate
commerce. bill we have got to charge
everybody the highest price,
5s9 Well, said Morrison, @Tm glad to
learn that. It's valuable informa-
tion," and paying his $3.50 he told
the agent to save a. berth in the sleep
er for Mrs. w. R. Morrison.
The agent looked up with q start Of
surprise and asked: What name did
you say?" s..@ Hs
So Mrs. w. r. Morrison, the com
missioner repeated. That's my:
wife 2 n & ..s..
The blusfes were about a foot deep
on the railroad mans face. and when
Col. Morrison went out of the door
the agent looked around for some
thing to club himself with.
